How many hours for cleaner?

Looking at employing a cleaner in the new year to give me back some free time. Trying to work out if we can afford it however so need to work out how many hours per week we need.

The house is 4 bedrooms (1 used as a second living room), main living room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, en suite, downstairs toilet, utility room.

The house is always tidy so it’s just cleaning. We do clean up after ourselves every day and the house is clutter free so easily accessed to clean. Plus we have a robot hoover and mop that runs daily.

Currently I do a once a week full clean (windows, skirting boards, mirrors etc.) that takes me around 4 hours depending on how efficient I’m being. It’s this that I’m hoping a cleaner can take off me. Is 4 hours once a week realistic?

4 hours is good if you want it done properly. I used to be a cleaner
